An important thing is also that reddit still doesn't require a mail address. Just click continue on the signup form without filling in the mail and bypass the dark pattern.

You can't comment or even view some subreddits without verifying your email, though. But creating an email address takes 5 minutes at most.

What are some examples of subreddits you can't view without verifying email? I haven't run across any.

Requiring an email is a dark pattern?

Not requiring an email but making the UI look like you do is a dark pattern.
